Wow, I think this is the first time I see (gasp) code and work shit on GFY :P
Anyhow, this is no hack, when I'm burnt and can't take the tweak shit anymore (and every once in a while I'm challenged beyond patience or capacity) I just fall back on good old fashioned TABLES.
Yep, tables work fine and fix fuckups or cross-compliancy issues like a bazooka finally lights a cigarette - overkill, but job done.
take a look at
http://blog.livecamnetwork.com in IE, then in FF.
If you can figure out wtf i'm doing that won't make that right hand column show the background of the div behind it (instead of what it IS doing, which is seeing through everything to the background image) then I'll try to think of something nice to do for you. Like free time with the LCN Girl of your choice...
